Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the mini potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the mini potatoes with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender. You can test doneness by inserting a fork into a potato; it should glide in easily.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the potatoes to cool slightly, just enough to handle.
Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit on the top of each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently squeeze the sides to create a small opening in the center of the potato.
Stuff each opening with a few crumbles of blue cheese, pressing down lightly to ensure it sticks.
Sprinkle the stuffed potatoes with chopped chives for a fresh, vibrant garnish.
Serve warm as an elegant appetizer or a flavorful side dish.
